What's in your handbag?

[AllGoodDogs]

I'm in the market for a new handbag. I love the look of the bigger hobo style bag but I don't seem to carry much around with me these days as my kids are older. Don't need to take any work stuff with me either so I don't really need the space, I just like the look of them.

So, what's in your everyday handbag?

AllGoodDogs I have a vanity case at home with my make-up in and a smaller make up bag that I take out with me.

Rather chuffed that my very small bag has such a lot in it. Mascara, several lipsticks, tube lip salve, several hundred loyalty type cards, small purse, a (hopefully) winning lottery number!, mirror, little diary, phone, emery boards.

It is a black two department bag with gold chain and black lasercut front from.....ta da! Primarni!! Had it years!

I was waiting for an appointment earlier and having a rummage through my bag and found a couple of loose spicy Nik Naks

I have a small Gusti Leather cross body,as I can't carry much
Containing my Purse,keys,prescription meds in daily dispenser,phone,lipstick.... and a couple of Poo bags... For my Westie,not me!

Oh and of course; my Smok vape pen... Gave up cigarettes 8 weeks ago

@Piggy did you sample a NikNak to see what flavour they were?!

@Uncomfortably well done you 👏👏
